The Unexpected #1: Can you guess which country topped our DDoS list? 🎤
This month, we released our global Telegram DDoS report, and sitting right at the top of the most-attacked countries list is... Austria.
Before you keep reading—can you guess why? What could possibly put Austria in the crosshairs of so many hacktivist groups last month?
I’ll admit, I didn’t see this one coming at all until I asked Pascal, who writes the report.
The answer isn't a war or a classic diplomatic crisis. It’s actually because of Eurovision.
It’s been a long time since this event was just about music. This year’s Eurovision turned into a highly charged geopolitical arena. The intense friction surrounding the war and the calls to boycott Israel ignited a massive storm. Hacktivist groups on Telegram seized the global stage, targeting Austria as the host to amplify their political agenda and gain maximum media attent
It will be fascinating to see what next month’s report looks like with the World Cup taking over.
Stay safe and proactive
